p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Northern Hawk Owl

Greetings,

Harsha and I tripped up to northern Minnesota this last weekend to find some owls. We struck-out in finding any Great Gray Owls, but that gives us another excuse to travel there at another time.

We did photograph Northern Hawk Owls and some other interesting birds like the Boreal Chickadee, etc.

The operating temperatures of my Canon bodies are rated for temperature ranges of 32 to 104 degrees F. Under the circumstances, with the air temps dipping to -23 degrees F and a wind factor of -45 degrees F, the 5D Mark III and 1D Mark IV functioned quite well. The motor of the 500mm L did need a little " jump start " once in awhile.

Oh well, here are a couple of photos of a super fast owl, the other critters will be posted in the next couple of days

Good light and warm temperatures to all,

Larry

Wonderful set Larry. The inflight images are excellent and well exposed. The cold weather can be a beast to deal with especially exposed hands when trying to change camera settings. Nicely done.

Beautiful photos? Where did you see the Northern? I drove down to Kelly J's, but I was unable to locate it in the short time I spent looking. I had a hard time leaving the bog as I really wanted to see a GGO.

Outstanding set, Larry! So well exposed and extremely sharp! What a treat! Glad you braved the cold temps....you obviously earned these nice captures.

Dang Larry, those are some very sharp captures, both technically and in composition. You do have a very nice way to your Post work. Glad you and Harsha got it done.

Great shots Larry. Nice and sharp. Perfect exposures in all of them. How do you like the combo of bodies you have?

Did you consider the 7d2 before getting the 5DIII?
